TV show quotes
It's weird. I kinda understand why my dad acts all... daddish.
Understand: yes. Like: no. [sees that they're flying towards back to Miracle City] Hey, look, the Miracle City volcano!
[They crash into the volcano as the screen cuts to white and then to black]
[wounded] Oh, good...
[annoyed] Dad, you said we were gonna protect the city today, not plant daisies.
Icelandic poppies!
[holding up a tiny shovel] Girl with tiny shovel!
Mom, are you okay? [points to the glove] Get your hand off my mom!
Manny, it's not what you think.
Maria, you said the glove was destroyed in the jaws of the Robasura.
I thought it was. [Flashback to the events of "A Mother's Glove", when the glove lands in the Robasura and gets crushed by its jaws after its battle with Manny; voice-over] But a few days later, it showed up on my doorstep, hurt and scared. I just couldn't turn it away. As I nursed it back to health, I realized the glove was good inside. Tests in my home lab showed that if I wore the glove for only one hour at a time, I could control the danger mania. Even a few seconds more, and I become… unstable. So, the glove and I made a deal. [Flashback ends] I will use my Plata Peligrosa powers to help those in need, but when my watch alarm sounds, it must get off my hand. Right, "Glovey?"
That's great, Mom.
You have a home lab?
Now, I can help my boys out in a crisis.
[gazing dreamily at her] You called me handsome.
Rodolfo, don't listen to what I say when I'm wearing the glove. I'm not myself. [Rodolfo puckers up his lips to kiss her; puts her hand on his mouth] You and I always be just friends.
Of course. I understand completely. [Maria walks off] She called me handsome!
[Later at the Rivera House; Manny and Frida hang out in Manny's room]
Wow, your mom and dad, a crime-fighting team. Maybe they'll get back together. [imitates kissing while rubbing Señor Chapi's head] Oh, Rodolfo, you're so handsome.
[touched while blushing] Ah, viva pantalones.
Cut it out, Frida. We both know my parents are better off apart.
Yeah, but does your dad know?
Sure he does. Probably. Down deep. Anyway, as long as he keeps his mind off beautifying the city.
Maria, we have been seeing a lot of each other lately, and… No, that's not right. [clears throat] Mi vida, I, that is, um… I need to ask you, will you have coffee with me?
[Manny gasps in shock and Frida grabs and pulls him by the mouth, throws him in the LuxePod and closes the lid, and he screams]
Manny, it's just coffee.
You know what happens after a man and woman have coffee?
[gasps] Danish?
No! They have a real date!
Dad! Oh, man. He's gonna get his heart broken. [determined] We gotta make him see that she's not herself when she's wearing that glove.
Right, 'cause that isn't obvious.
So we'll make it even more obvious. This I swear!
[giving Frida the alarm watch] (Here,) Hide this.
But without the alarm, your mom's gonna go all danger-crazy.
Exactly.
[Frida hides the watch in her goggles]
[The alarm watch suddenly goes off in Frida's goggles]
What's that noise?
Wind.
Elephants.
Airplane.
Thingy-thing.
[looks up and gasps] Maria! [Maria's eyes light up in flames and she suddenly goes completely insane with danger and beats up the monsters, violently; utterly shocked] I have never seen so much grotesque grotesquely. That's not like Maria. It's not love!
[grabs Rodolfo by the collar] You and I belong together, White Pantera! Come on. Spend your life with me, crushing evil, and laughing in danger, and never taking this glove off! [laughs wickedly insane]
You know what's funny? If not for this inexplicable string of crimes and disasters, I would have been beautifying the city with Manny and Frida instead of… giving them lots of money?
[Money pops out from Frida's goggles]
How you doing?
This is totally unfair. I have to take care of Dad and Grandpapi's pets, but they said I'm "not responsible enough" to have my own. Why would they think that?
NOOOOOOO!!!!!! [runs back to Chui and hugs him; sobbing] He's my Chui! He's…my…Chui! [sobs] We can't leave him and go home!
I know it's hard, dude, but you got to let him go.
No, we really can't leave him and go home. I have no idea where we are.
[Sergio and Diego shockingly realize they both have a crush on Frida and angrily get into each other's faces]
You after my girl!
No, you are after mine!
You might as well give up now! Frida will melt at my charm, and the cool accent. I'm suavé.
No, my brains will melt her. From math to science, my knowledge is encyclopedic.
FRIDA WILL BE MINE! Jinx!
[annoyed after getting a F on her geography test] Stupid geography test. I like my answer for "What's the capital of France?"
Yeah, Frenchy town rocks.
What's he say?
I don't know. But it's obvious that Frida…likes Manny.
[enraged with a background of fire] I MUST CRUSH HIM!!!
I will dispose of Manny and make it look like an accident.
And once he's gone, I will make Frida mine. I will sweep her feet off…
No, I will.
No, me.
Me!
Me!
Me, me, ME!
Me, me, ME!
Remind me to never complain about the stale tortilla chips again.
